Modesto City-County-Harry Sham FLD (KMOD) sits in Modesto, California. Field elevation is 99.2 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 10L/28R at 5,904 ft. The other runway is 10R/28L at 3,464 ft. The tower is open 0700-2100. There is 1 ILS approach. It serves runway 28R.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Modesto Jet Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Noise abatement asks pilots to use lighted runways only. That matters here because the field also has published lighting notes for tower-closed operations. When the tower is closed, some lighting on 10R/28L is unavailable. Plan ahead if you expect a night arrival.
This is a controlled airport with NorCal approach and departure on 120.95. The airport also has published notes for birds and small mammals in the area. Taxiway B can hold water along its north edge during and after wet weather. Large aircraft and pure jets have parking limits on the northeast ramp. Check the current Chart Supplement for any current restrictions before you go.
